Bully

Male · Adult · 5 years

Meet Bully, our handsome American Bulldog! Bully arrived at Battersea through no fault of his own and has quickly won people over with his affectionate and loving nature. In his previous home he lived happily alongside children and was described as a friendly boy who loved attention and being close to his family. Since arriving in our care Bully has found kennel life a little overwhelming being quite vocal at times and has much preferred spending time with people. He forms strong bonds and enjoys fuss, cuddles and simply being near his favourite humans. Bully is looking for owners who can continue working on his confidence when left alone, as he has shown some separation-related behaviours both in his previous home and while in our care. He is already beginning to settle into routines on foster and has shown that he can relax when given time, patience and appropriate enrichment. Bully enjoys meeting other dogs and has some lovely social skills, but he has also shown some sexual behaviours and would prefer to be the only dog in the home. He would benefit from continuing positive socialisation with suitable dog friends out on walks. Potential adopters should be aware that Bully is a large and powerful dog. Since moving into foster care he has become much more confident and has shown that he can be extremely strong on lead, particularly if he spots squirrels or wildlife. New owners will need to be physically capable of managing him and committed to ongoing lead walking training. Bully is looking for a home with a private garden, access to quieter walking routes while he settles in, and owners who can provide consistency, training and lots of affection. He may be able to live with a confident dog-savvy cat following careful introductions and can live with sensible teenagers aged 13 years and over. For the right family, Bully will make an incredibly loyal, affectionate and rewarding companion who has so much love to give.
